Exactlay what it says ... What is the coolest Modification you have pulled off for under $100.....


Mine was painting my dash inserts silver the effect was great and it was not too expensive to do less than $50 for paint!

Cost me $10 for the same job ehheehehe,


Heat Shield for $8


Chrome/leather tip gear knob & hand brake $80

where'd you get the Tip gear knob and hand brake from?? looks fantastic!

He got it from his local ricer shop just down Clarendon St, Sth Melbourne

easy, rice stickers.... coz Milsy says "it's fully sick" :lol:

yeah, so start eating yr RICE bubbles B R O!

pffffff We asian, we eat Fried Rice that cooked by NOS!!!! VTEC YO!!!!! Kick in YOOOOOOooooooo

Most effective i have done look wise is a leather gearboot, cost under $20

Hey Boris, isn't your CAI, comes under $100 bucks as well?? Ohhh and can you do my gearboot when you down as well mate hehehee

Painting Calipers - about 8 bucks.

Air filter pod too.

hey FTO338 i was wondering what your heat shield is made up of?
and if its legal?

To me it looks like he's used one of those sun visor things that go in your windscreen on a sunny day

Yeah thats right, I did a write up somewhere on almost all of the things i've done by now, so it should be somewhere in this forum.

Well i went to VicRoad with it, & they said is fine, & i got pull over by cops few times & they didn't say anything either.

I made a custom CAI from the existing air pipe. Bought a straight metal pipe and used the two existing 90degree bends to make a decent CAI.
Cost me $20 for the pipe. Then I hacked the feed pipe from the top of the radiator to the old filter box to make a custom cold air feed. Filter sits right ontop of the hole and pipe begins right behind the mesh on the front bumper.
Cost me about $2 for some duct tape. Works great and its hidden so doesnt have to look flashy. In the process of making a custom heat shield box for the filter to live in. Already got the templates and should cost me about $75 for material and for a friend to route it.

Will load pictures later.

Going crazy with a can of BackToBlack tyre spray on the interior plastic.... Looks better than new!

Hahhaha now thats a new one i never heard of, but don't they rub off?

I only did it coz i had half a can left over.... Really surprised how well it came up.

Left it on for 5mins, then rubbed it down with a cloth.

Been a on few days so far. Still looks shiney and new. It's water proof and lasts quite well on tires, so hopefully will last a little while longer. But then a can of tyre blacking isn't that expensive if needs another coat....

You have a tiptronic!

Yeah, CAI too... but by Toni saying "the coolest Modification" i though it was all about looks

yeh Grue, that can work really well. I also used a leather treatment on my dash, steering well, and handbrake gaitor, which makes it look great. only problem is that any dust in the car or that gets blown into the car, sticks on it, but i guess that's gonna happen regardless.

mmmm. know what you mean - when it's clean, dust shows up more! Although - might be my imagination, but lot easier to wipe off now.
